But you can watch .AVI, .MPG, etc. files on both systems via USB key. I've installed a few movies onto my PS3. The main advantage with Sony is you get a Blu-Ray player and built-in Wireless internet adapter. The Xbox either requires the USB network adapter, or possibly you can get away with a wireless router, so long as it does not need to install drivers (google has some answers re: that issue).

the blu ray player sells me more on the PS3, I have the Hi Def TV now, so I want to experience, just need to get a surround sound system to complete the experience as well.

The only PS3s that are 100% backwards compatible are the 60GB 1st generation.
The 80GB have "software" BC, which means not all games are BC.
The 40GB have 0 BC.

SF71, I posted a video of Natal on top of this page.

TO finish, all PS3s have wireless connection, which means you can stream all media files from your computer with Windows MEdia PLayer, You just need your computer on. I'me currently using it, and the video quality of some avi files scream awesomeness on my LCD.

Nothing beats bluray though, especially for live concerts (sound is as HD as video)

well then I guess I might miss the boat on complete backwards compatibility unless I find the first generation 60 GB version.

Marakh, I don't know if you heard about this, but Kojima (MGS writer/producer/director) is going to be the lead on the new Castlevania game that comes out in 2010... And Patrick Stewart is going to be one of the voice actors for the game too. Should be good.

Yep, saw the trailer, I think Castlevania will be visible in the name though... There's absolutely 0 relatiion to Castlevania from what I see in the universe.

But Yeah, Kojima should be interesting. I can't wait for MG5 on PSP and the new MGS series (starring Raiden) on pS3 and XBox 360.

He's directing MGS5 on PSP.
But MGS Raiden (called MGS Rising) is directed by one of his "pupils". But he's still involved with the overall production.

For anyone who is interested, I just found a reputable source (gamespot.com) that says that NHL 10 comes out on September 8th... Mark your calendars.

This is Sony's answer:

I'm more Sony as well, because I like their exclusive games better (MGS, ICo, Shadow of colossus, Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of war...) but I like the Xbox 360 too.

I will be bookmarking that or e-mailing that somewhere so I can view it, work blocks you tube, but not any other streaming video site, go figure.

I don't believe so, I think its part blocking of youtube and not allowing these pc's to update to the latest version of flash, damn no admin rights.
